Review of Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream
Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream by Dr. Frank L. Douglas talks about his life story, marked by tough times, determination, and impressive success. Dr. Douglas grew up facing poverty. His family depended greatly on others for the basics, like food and shelter. But even in these hard times, young Dr. Douglas loved learning. He worked hard and did well in school, earning a spot at Queens College after acing the Cambridge exams. A scholarship took Dr. Douglas from his home in British Guiana to Lehigh University in the United States.
The book talks about Dr. Douglas's personal growth, showing how his religious beliefs and life activities influenced his values. He writes directly, reflecting his scientific and realistic outlook on life. This book also shows his resilience. He faced many obstacles, including discrimination and setbacks, that could have stopped him. But he kept going amidst everything that was happening. The book shines a light on employment discrimination, a problem that still affects many people today. Dr. Douglas's story shows how unfair it is when someone's race holds them back in their career. It's upsetting, and it can make it hard to keep going in daily life. The author's insights and real-life experiences make the book powerful.
This exceptional book written by Dr. Frank L. Douglas encourages readers to keep going, no matter what life throws at them. It is a story that reminds us how strong people can be and why it is important to chase our dreams, even when things seem impossible.
I only found one error in this professionally edited book. I also have no dislikes for it, so I am going to rate it 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend it to people who wish to read about the true nature of discrimination.
